Hunter's Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Our classically styled Sauvignon Blanc shows passion fruit and lime characters along with grapefruit and green herbs. Dry and saline, the lively palate has a creamy texture and a juicy finish.

James Macdonald talks Sauvignon Blanc

The 2020 growing season was one to remember for the amazing weather conditions in Marlborough. During Summer and Autum we had warm and dry conditions throughout, allowing for clean fruit and an early start to the vintage. These conditions resulted in grapes that was picked with good natural acidity relative to their sugar and flavour ripeness. 2020 will prove to be an exceptional vintage.

Hunter’s Sauvignon Blanc is produced using our very best Estate grown fruit from our Wairau Valley vineyards. This area of Marlborough is famed for producing a ripe, tropical style of Sauvignon Blanc.

The grapes were harvested over a three-week period. The juice was pressed off and settled before being fermented in stainless steel tanks. A small portion of the blend was fermented in large French oak barrels to provide texture and complexity.

After a brief period of aging on fine lees, the wine was blended, and Estate bottled.
